    If you are looking for more delicious breakfast and brunch recipes, I would definitely beg you to try the quiche florentine or the breakfast quesadillas. But if you prefer sweets, give a try to these super moist almond flour banana muffins or the classic French madeleines.

    🥞 Ingredients & Equipment

    Most of the ingredients required for this recipe might very well be in your pantry already:

    • All-purpose flour
    • Baking powder: leavening agent
    • Granulated sugar: can be adjusted a little if you use sweetened almond milk
    • Butter / Margarine: to keep it dairy-free, use margarine, olive oil, or a dairy-free butter
    • Almond milk: I used unsweetened plain, you may like the vanilla almond milk
    • Egg
    • Almond extract: I love the almond flavor but you can also use vanilla extract if you wish
    • Salt

    See recipe card for quantities.

    In terms of utensils, you need to gather (affiliate links):

    • A large mixing bowl
    • A small mixing bowl
    • A crepe pan or regular pan

    🥣 Instructions

    The best part of this recipe is that the preparation of the batter is quick and therefore if you feel like making some on a lazy Sunday, you have no excuse not to make these fluffy almond milk pancakes

    1. First of all, in the large mixing bowl, gather all your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix them.

    mixing bowl with dry ingredients and a whisk and a small mixing bowl.

    2. Next, in the small bowl, pour the wet ingredients: the melted butter, the egg, the almond milk, and almond extra. Stir well to combine.

    3. Lastly, your pancake batter is almost ready. You just need to combine the dry and wet ingredients.

    Batter is ready!

    Important tip: Do NOT over mix the batter, just combine and ignore any lump. It is fine. Why? This will ensure fluffy pancakes

    Now, grab the non-stick pan of your choice and cook those babies! Over medium heat, put some butter or margarine to melt and add about half a ladle of batter. Allow to cook for a minute or 2 or until you see the pancake rise and shape itself.

    Tip: To know if the pancake is ready to be turn, try to gently push the pancake, if it slides easily on the pan, flip it.

    Cook another minute on the other side and take it off the pan. Repeat until you have no longer any batter. You should be able to fit 3 to 4 pancakes on the pan. I prefer 3 so the pan is not overcrowded.

    📖 Variations

    These dairy-free pancakes are basic and simple and if you wish you can tweak a few things:

    • Almond Milk: you can use sweetened or unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I used the plain unsweetened here.
    • Add-ons: feel free to personalize your pancakes with sprinkles, chocolate chips!
    • Fruits: Throw in some fresh fruits such as blueberries, blackberries, strawberries etc…

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Do almond milk pancakes taste the same as the ones with cow milk?

    Personally, I do not taste any difference. I would say depending on the type of almond milk, such as the sweetened one, you might taste more sweetness or an extra flavour but other than that, I could have been fooled!

    Why are my pancakes not fluffy?

    Did you skip the baking powder? This ingredient has to be in the recipe. Also, did you overmix the batter? When combining your dry ingredients and wet ones, you should just stir a little bit and keep the lumps, it is okay.

    Can I make them ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can make a batch and keep it in the fridge in an air-tight container.
